Your employer will need to provide a letter endorsing the visa application. If family do join you, think about the following: » Can they speak English? » Is there a place for them to live? » What schools will your children go to? » Can your partner/spouse drive? » Can they work? » Can they find a job? » What social life will they have? » What public services, like health care, are they eligible for? » Can they adjust to a new country?
